Well, overall I thought I did pretty decent on this submission.
My biggest concern is that I hope I still get a blue box!

Except for this abortion. I'm going to have to really look close at it, because it looked
pretty nice to me. Maybe my eyes are just failing me. It's still a really pretty shield
nickel.

Oh and nice results.
Got pix of the shield nickel?
Lance.
Nice going!

Yeah, but the pics aren't good, probably not good enough to determine what's up with it.
but here it is:
Sorry if the pics are monster big.
It is a Shield Nickel Variety S2-3040
I was hoping for better.
I'm not sure what they didn't like, it's not like the cracks are all smoothed over like it was worked on, it is a pretty clean coin the cracks are sharp edged every where.
Howard (I believe) mentioned that a lot of times the dies were unfinished by the mint and ended up showing buildup of metal in some places, I'm thinking that is what they thought might be whizzing.
Hard to tell from the pic, but it looks nice to me.
Really, really hard to tell from the pic !
I assume it really isn't gold plated
minor scratch should not have held it back. Rim repair somewhere?

No, not gold plated, my poor photo skills.
I think what you thought was a minor scratch is actually one of the major die cracks.
It was a pretty much shattered die. There are a lot of cracks on it. Not all of them show on the pics. The shield side has a nearly square crack that makes me wonder why the shield even remained on the die (or the edges didn't fall off).
Coin Rarities Online
Blue boxes as far as the eye could see in LB.
I may need to buy a few at the next show I go to.

It's such a hammered strike that if it weren't for the cracks I'd be thinking maybe proof. It's an awfully nice coin for a no-grade.
BTW, the die didn't fall apart from the squared die crack (lower right quadrant) because the cracks aren't that deep (yet!).
This is an RPD 1 north 67 south (clockwise rotation).

I'd like to see the 1885 Morgan when you get her back.
Great results overall, especially if you get the blue box.
Quite a Type variety.
If any other Joe Shmoe put up that Nickel pic I'd say it looked polished.
I find it very hard to believe that the mentioned scratch DQ'd it.
They should declare the issue so there is no guessing.

My Washington Quarter Registry set...in progress
What I can see that might qualify as damage is the obverse dig at 10 o'clock from the denticles to leaf, and some damage to the leaf at thend of the dig (bottom of outermost leaf is squared off and there is some indentation on top of the biggest leaf).

That is another crack, not a scratch. The picture doesn't do the coin justice.
Under 4x and 10x lenses there are no scratches, there are cracks a plenty.
I think, as Howards already said, you got a no-grade, because of the nasty scratch or dig at the 10:00 region on the obverse.

I'll see if I can get a pic of the Morgan when it arrives. It's got awesome colour to it.
I bought it for the colour and then realized how clean the thing was and decided to send it in to get it graded. It had been in an album for about 10 years (that I know of), the colour makes me think it spent much more time before it found me.
I assume it really isn't gold plated
Nice coin
If it's AU details, does it really matter?
It does to me. Maybe you are above such things. Your reply shows a stratification that sort of sucks.

The picture REALLY makes it look like a scratch. Definitely take a second look when it comes back. I've been wrong on my own coins before. Even if it is though, that's a harsh punishment.
Blue boxes as far as the eye could see in LB.
And green ones too!!!
I brought home at least 15 greens.
I've got loads of Blue Boxes...send me your address and I'll send you a few. FREE!!!

I was mentally guessing $50. Surprised to see $300 for an AU. Carry on...

Got the blue box, so all is good!
